Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 8 ounces canned crushed pineapple (undrained)
- 0.5 cups coconut milk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a drizzle of glaze for extra sweetness before serving.
